M. Prieto et al., FACTORS AFFECTING SPOILAGE MICROFLORA SUCCESSION ON LAMB CARCASSES ATREFRIGERATION TEMPERATURES, Journal of Applied Bacteriology, 74(5), 1993, pp. 521-525
Three bacterial groups were detected during the shelf-life of lamb car
casses stored at refrigeration temperatures: coryneforms (mostly Broch
othrix thermosphacta), Gram-positive cocci (staphylococci) and Gram-ne
gative bacilli (Pseudomonas spp. and Moraxella spp.). Influence of cat
egorical variables such as sampling day, sampling area and sampling me
thod on their recovery was analysed by a chi-square test of independen
ce and loglinear analysis. Hierarchical loglinear modelling proved to
be very useful as several three-way interactions of factors were obser
ved.
